Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to nozzles for dispensing caulking and similar viscous mixtures and more particularly to a flexible caulk tube nozzle that is securable over the dispensing tube of a caulk container that includes a tapered nozzle end portion, an accordion flexible section, a caulk tube attachment portion, and a plurality of angled caulk tube gripping structures; the tapered nozzle end portion, the accordion flexible section, and the caulk tube attachment portion being integrally formed to define an internal caulk passageway through the tapered nozzle end portion, the accordion flexible section and the caulk tube attachment portion; the caulk tube attachment portion defining a caulk tube insertion opening in connection with the internal caulk passageway; each of the plurality of angled caulk tube gripping structures having a bevel edged internal caulk tube engaging portion extending into the internal caulk passageway adjacent to the caulk tube insertion opening in a manner such that as the flexible caulk tube nozzle is screwed onto a caulk tube, the bevel edged internal caulk tube engaging portions each cut into and engage the caulk tube.
BACKGROUND ART
Caulking is typically used to provide a resilient seal between two adjacent structures, such as a window frame and a brick wall, to prevent water and air from entering the gap between the two adjacent structures. Although caulking is desirable, it is often difficult to dispense the viscous caulk into the gap between the structures with the straight, tapered caulk tube conventionally provided with the caulk container. It would be a benefit, therefore, to have a caulk tube nozzle that was attachable over the caulk tube of the caulk container and which was sufficiently flexible to allow a tapered nozzle end portion of the caulk tube nozzle to be oriented at a number of desirable angles with respect to a caulk tube attachment portion of the caulk tube nozzle. Additionally, because caulk is highly viscous, it could be difficult to maintain a caulk tube nozzle on the caulk tube. It would be a further benefit, therefore, to have a caulk tube nozzle that included a number of caulk tube gripping structures that could cut into and engage the sidewall of the caulk tube to prevent the caulk tube nozzle from being forced off the caulk tube by caulk flowing through the caulk tube nozzle.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a caulk tube nozzle that is flexible.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a flexible caulk tube nozzle that includes a number of caulk tube gripping structures that cut into and engage the sidewall of the caulk tube to prevent the caulk tube nozzle from being forced off the caulk tube by caulk flowing through the caulk tube nozzle.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a flexible caulk tube nozzle that includes a tapered nozzle end portion, an accordion flexible section, a caulk tube attachment portion, and a plurality of angled caulk tube gripping structures; the tapered nozzle end portion, the accordion flexible section, and the caulk tube attachment portion being integrally formed to define an internal caulk passageway through the tapered nozzle end portion, the accordion flexible section and the caulk tube attachment portion; the caulk tube attachment portion defining a caulk tube insertion opening in connection with the internal caulk passageway; each of the plurality of angled caulk tube gripping structures having a bevel edged internal caulk tube engaging portion extending into the internal caulk passageway adjacent to the caulk tube insertion opening in a manner such that as the flexible caulk tube nozzle is screwed onto a caulk tube, the bevel edged internal caulk tube engaging portions each cut into and engage the caulk tube.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a flexible caulk tube nozzle that accomplishes some or all of the above objects in combination.
Accordingly, a flexible caulk tube nozzle is provided. The flexible caulk tube nozzle includes a tapered nozzle end portion, an accordion flexible section, a caulk tube attachment portion, and a plurality of angled caulk tube gripping structures; the tapered nozzle end portion, the accordion flexible section, and the caulk tube attachment portion being integrally formed to define an internal caulk passageway through the tapered nozzle end portion, the accordion flexible section and the caulk tube attachment portion; the caulk tube attachment portion defining a caulk tube insertion opening in connection with the internal caulk passageway; each of the plurality of angled caulk tube gripping structures having a bevel edged internal caulk tube engaging portion extending into the internal caulk passageway adjacent to the caulk tube insertion opening in a manner such that as the flexible caulk tube nozzle is screwed onto a caulk tube, the bevel edged internal caulk tube engaging portions each cut into and engage the caulk tube.
